Happy Birthday1

Happy birthday to my ma. I love you! I know today wasn't the best day to have a birthday, but tomorrow we are going to lunch and we will just pretend like tomorrow is your birthday, ok?

Grandma

Here is my Grandmas obituary

Mom

Bre, Morg, and Ri. Rielly was her only great-great-grandchild. I wish she could have met him.

What a pretty lady

This is a letter that my Grandma sent to my Grandpa when he was in World War 2. If you look above his name, you can see that it says "Deceased". The military sent a stack of letters back to my Grandma, and all of the letters said "deceased". This is how my Grandma found out that her husband had been killed in the war.

This says "This returned letter marked "deceased" was how Marie (Grandma) learned of Petes death. No telegram was sent to her! Her sister in law who worked in the post office got the bundle of returned letters and rushed them to Marie. Such a terrible way to learn of Petes death."
